The Exciting God Story of the Week!

After Bible Study Fellowship last Tuesday, One of the ladies in my group, P'Yai (see her picture above), wanted to walk with me to the Bus Stop. She is one of the ladies that is new with learning English, so we talk and both of us work on speaking in the other's natural language. Well as we were walking, I found out that she was very hungry. Knowing that she had no money and would most likely not eat that night, I said I was hungry too. So we went to a restaurant on the side of the street and ate some food. By the time that we were done eating it was about 10:30pm. We went to catch a bus...but no bus going the right route was coming by, so we kept waiting. And by 10:50pm I was getting nervous. Because we were right were all the prostitution happens and people are very high on drugs, and the men around us were uncomfortably starring. So, I felt I needed to get us out of here. On normal terms, I would have waited for the bus..because it is way cheaper than a Taxi. But,as we kept flagging down taxi's no one was willing to take us to her home and then mine. You see it would be a long drive and the government had us on curfew. So we had to be in our homes by 12:00am. So, finally I decided we were taking a motorcycle all the way down Sukumvit road and then taking a taxi to our homes. Because at the end of the street a taxi would be willing to take us. Now we were quite the sight on this taxi. Thank goodness I was in leggings and could sit normal on the motorcycle because P'Yai was in a dress so she had to sit sideways (like side saddle on a horse). If we both had to...there would have been no way we would have both fit...haha. So, Sukumvit is a main road downtown and it is very busy. There was lots of traffic. So, our driver weaved us in and around vehicles, buses, etc. At one point we were dodging people on the sidewalk. I could hear P'Yai in Thai saying, "Help us God". I was getting nervous because I could not hang on to our driver (you know like you do in America...here that is inappropriate), so I was hanging onto P'Yai and the side of the Motorcycle as we were weaving around. When we finally reached the end. P'Yai was putting me in a taxi. I said, "No you are coming with me. We can take you home first." Well, it ended up that we both went home to my house. And Thanked and Praised the Lord together. For He went before our evening together. He kept us safe, as we were standing waiting for the bus, as we were riding a motorcycle through traffic, and we made it home before curfew!
